Topic: B+W Filter - No Green Hologram (Read 6522 times)

I've just received a new 77mm MRC Nano XS-PRO UV Filter and the box doesn't have the usual B+W/Genuine Product green hologram. Instead it has a silver hologram on the left side of the box which says Schneider Kreuznach on it and underneath that it says 9FFQ3T.

Should I be concerned? I know Schneider is B+W but all my other filters have the green B+W hologram and I haven't seen anything online about this changing. It might be my imagination but the black box doesn't look quite so black as well...but I'm at work at the moment so can't check if this is the same as my other XS-PRO ones. The filter itself seems to look about right.

I would email Schneider/B+W. I vaguely remember that they had some information about the holograms on their web site.

yeah i've emailed them through the Schneider Kreuznach website. I'm in the UK and the UK site for B+W (www.bpluswfilters.co.uk) has changed now as a new distributor has been chosen in the UK so it just points to the distributors site.
